Erratum: Degradation and deactivation of bacterial antibiotic resistance genes during exposure to free chlorine, monochloramine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, ultraviolet light, and hydroxyl radical (Environmental Science & Technology (2019) 53:4 (2013-2026) DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.8b04393)

On p S11 of the Supporting Information, Part A, the paragraph “Recovery yields. This method could typically recover 1 mL of ∼10−30 mg/L linear dsDNA with a size of ∼40−60 kbp (as determined by PFGE; see Text S7) from 1L of 106 CFU/mL 1A189 cells, or 1 mL of ∼7.5−14.4 μM total nucleotides (after nuclease P1 digestion; equivalent to ∼2.3−4.5 mg/L as dsDNA) from 100 mL of 106 CFU/mL cells. No significant difference was found between the recovery yields of untreated and disinfectant-treated cells.” should instead read “Recovery yields. This method could typically recover 1 mL of ∼10−30 mg/L linear dsDNA with a size of ∼40−60 kbp (as determined by PFGE; see Text S7) from 1 L of 106 CFU/mL 1A189 cells, or 1 mL of ∼7.5−14.4 μM total nucleotides (after nuclease P1 digestion; equivalent to ∼2.3−4.5 mg/L as dsDNA) from 100 mL of 106 CFU/mL cells. No significant differences were found between recovery yields from untreated and disinfectant-treated cells for NH2Cl, ClO2, or UV treatment, though FAC and O3 treatment led to decreasing dsDNA recoveries at exposures ≥9 mg/L·min (7.6 × 10−3 M· s) and ≥0.02 mg/L·min (2.5 × 10−5 M·s), respectively.” We would also like to clarify that mass concentrations and exposures (CTs) provided for FAC and NH2Cl throughout the main text and Supporting Information are in equivalent units “as Cl2” (i.e., mg/L as Cl2 and mg/L as Cl2·min), as this was not clearly stated in the original text.
